I attended yesterday with a friend of mine an exhibition at the Invalides after which we went for a walk in the neighbourhood. I was there for the second time. My first time in the Invalides was in February 1996 and I liked the building very much. Invalides were built by tje Sun King as an hospital for wounded soldiers. Still today, the majority of the buildings belongs to the hospital and not to the Museum of the Army and a few veteran (first Vietnam War or Algerian War) still lived there.
